Updated Pics of my 2012 X6 50i with New 22" Wheels

polar993 · 03-11-2013, 05:15 PM

I had my wheels powder coated last week and finally had the chance to takes some photos of the newly refinished wheels.

The color now is called "ghost chrome". It's very similar to the Ferric Gray OEM color, but it has more metallic in it and the color actually changes depending on the light conditions.

I personally think they look great!

Hope you like them!

Plus one shot of the interior.....Oyster Nevada & Black.

Yes, I lowered it slightly with H&R Springs....1.2" Front, 1.0" Rear. The ride feels nearly like stock. I wish it was a bit lower in the rear, but I don't have the self-leveling rear suspension, so the rear height is not adjustable.

The tire size is 265/35/22, non-staggered (for now). I have new 10.5" rear wheels on back order, though now that this square setup is on my car, I think it looks pretty good, and I'm not sure if I need to change to the 10.5" rears. I am using 25mm spacers in the rear.

Thanks!

Thanks....I'm happy with it so far. It looks somewhat OEM, but subtly different.
